Opening Day - Lowland Lakes

Today is the opening of lowland lakes and marks the general opener of fishing season. Took a little run around before work this morning to a few of the local lakes to see what was happening and the amount of participation. To say the least there was very little pressure on the lakes I checked.

Silver Lake - South Everett: Though this is a year around lake I saw more pressure this AM than I did when I drove by earlier this week. Perhaps people didn't know this lake was already open. There were just three boats on the lake and just a handful of bank / dock anglers. Without a doubt a lot more anglers could be utilizing this piece of water.

Lake Stickney: Though not a real popular lake with the trout anglers, there were just four angler fishing off the boat launch area and not a single boat on the lake. The only one was one on a trailer in the parking lot.

Lake Serene: This had the most angling pressure with 14 or 15 rigs parked in the parking area and perhaps a dozen boats on the lake. Definitely not crowded by any means.

Overall, I would have to say the amount of total angling pressue has been light which will give a greater amount of opprutunities for the upcoming month or so.
